Delaware Property Tax Expertise
Delaware Expertise with a National Footprint
New Castle County, Delaware, is undergoing a significant property revaluation in over 40 years, prompted by a State Supreme Court order. This legislative change has exposed significant issues with uniformity and underassessment in property valuations, necessitating a thorough reassessment.
Similar to recent developments in Kent County—where the 2024 revaluation resulted in dramatic increases of 10 to 30 times in property values—New Castle County’s revaluation aims to address these concerns. Some incorporated towns within the county have also conducted independent reassessments, leading to situations where properties may have multiple assessors and varying property values.
Tyler Technologies is managing New Castle County’s revaluation process. Property owners should expect to receive new value notices by the end of 2024, with the opportunity to appeal by March 2025. It is essential for property owners to thoroughly review their assessments to ensure the accuracy of their tax bills.

Our custom systems are designed to maximize tax savings and streamline administrative processes for our clients.
